Helloooo Daddy 😍😍😂

That crossed my mind while I was watching too Wasn't Mikkos devoted to Alexis' mother lol that's another one of Frank's many flaws as a producer. Luckily, it wasn't as bad as the Luke retcon in 2015.

Now with all the baby stuff happening, I fear that we have a long way to go before this finally wraps up.

They probably would've gone that route had there not been a writer change. Will needed to be more of a gray character. I did like that he was a good guy overall, but he got dumped on so much. His life was literally destroyed by Victor and Xander, and he just brushed it off like nothing ever happened. I would've loved to have seen a nice long Will's revenge plot, against Sonny/Evan, Victor, Xander, etc.

I always felt that they should gone that route with Will/Sonny after Arianna was born. Sonny, the world traveler, now having to settle down and be Mr. Mom. He could've had trouble adjusting to that life, and done all the things to Will that you suggested, which could have caused conflict with Will, and with Gabi. Ultimately, that what would've driven Will to have an affair with Paul. It could have played for years. Honestly, if I was writing it, I would've made Sonny/Will/Paul the gay Hope/Liam/Steffy, albeit with better writing lol

@allmc2008 in the post above are some short clips of Susan, when she was pregnant

That is a really good point. It is tough because you're never going to be able to please everybody, no matter what you do. But in most cases, just having the characters there, in their own storylines, with their own personalities and relationships with one another is good enough for me. I'm not saying that a gay couple on soaps has to have like a Brian and Justin kind of relationship, but it's just good to see them be included in the story

I never even considered a Carly/Valentin pairing. I'm going to have to start paying closer attention to see if there's any chemistry between the two of them

David was Julie's boyfriend. She planned on eloping with him, but Tom talked her out of it. In anger, David had a one night stand with Susan (it was her first time) and got her pregnant. Julie found out, but still wanted to be with David. But it was the 60's, so the child had to be legitimized lol David ended up marrying Susan, with the intention of divorcing her and marrying Julie once the baby was born. The baby was born, but soon after, he fell out of a child's swing that David bought him and died. Susan then had a breakdown and shot and killed David. She was tried, but found not guilty.

That apartment was above the art gallery that she ran with Mitch after she left Mac. I know she still lived there after Mitch was sent to prison, so it's possible that she still lived there by 1983. Or she could have moved in with Steve by that point.

Yeah. This is lacking on soaps as well 😂

Ron Carlivati is the poster child for that mindset lol What sucks it that it doesn't have to be that way.

Agreed. It does seem like the "B" in LGBTQ is the one that gets forgotten, which sucks. Days had their chance. Evan could have been a groundbreaking character, and he was completely destroyed by a writer who if you ask me has a problem with bisexuality. The same could be said for Charlie, who I do believe would not have been written so irredeemably or possibly even been redeemed if his portrayer was straight (or gay) IMO, a bisexual love triangle is the shot in the arm that soaps need. It's something new and original and that's always a good thing for soaps. And honestly, with the chemistry that some male actors/characters have been having with one another lately (Michael/Chase, Thomas/Vinny, Cam/Dev), now would be the right time to finally say the hell with it and actually write it in.

Well, it's not the first time Frank's hired a name to get people watching. The only way for him to work, IMO, and not go the way of Michelle Stafford or Elizabeth Hendrickson, is to bring him in as a recast, and not some new character that nobody cares about.

Loololl That's Gentri. They're singers.

Well...

😂😂 Knowing Frank, I'm surprised he doesn't have a limo pick them up every morning

Well, you did say mormon guys were hot 😂

Well, better a recast then a brand new character. There are so many established characters with storyline potential that we don't need any new ones. The show is getting too crowded again though

I just checked on AWHP in the correspondence section. In the interview with L. Virginia Browne, it does say that Jacker took over during the strike.

Yeah. L. Virginia Browne became head writer in December 1980, so she was there when the strike happened. I think Corinne Jacker was the one who wrote the show during the strike.

Not a thirsty pic, but I just had to share this here 😂

This all took place around like 71-73 Susan blocked it out because she was "sexually frigid", and her encounter with Eric brought up a lot of bad memories of David, and everything that happened to her (sleeping with him, getting pregnant, her baby dying, killing David, etc.)
